FAQs

What is DiviPay?

DiviPay is an online platform that enables users to instantly generate unique virtual Mastercards for any online purchase. Using DiviPay's virtual cards keeps you safe from online fraud and allows you to make purchases in over 150 currencies without having to pay any foreign transaction fees.

How do virtual cards work?

Virtual cards work just like a pre-paid debit card - simply load funds onto your card and start spending! You can top up your virtual card as many times as you like and it can be used anywhere that Mastercard is accepted.

How does DiviPay keep me safe when shopping online?

Using a DiviPay virtual card for online purchases means you never expose your personal bank card details to online merchants. See below for how DiviPay keeps you safe whilst shopping online.

An added layer of security for regular purchases

Create a DiviPay virtual card for purchases you make frequently at trusted merchants. If this card ever becomes compromised your personal bank details are not exposed and you can simply delete the associated DiviPay card.

Single use cards for new or foreign purchases

Create a single use DiviPay virtual card if you are shopping with a new merchant for the first time or just don't entirely trust a website. Once you've paid the merchant simply remove that virtual card and it can never be used again. This means that the merchant will never have access to any of your payment information.

Subscription Services

Use a DiviPay virtual card when signing up for subscription services and stay in control. By setting a spending limit on your card you can ensure you will never be charged more than expected. With a DiviPay card you also have the ability to disable the card at any time, meaning the service provider won't be able to charge you for a service you no longer want. If you only want to trial the service or want a single subscription item you can create a virtual card, sign up and then remove the card. Easy!

How do chargebacks work with DiviPay?

We recommend always trying to resolve the issue with the merchant prior to issuing a chargeback - merchants would almost always prefer to resolve the issue without a chargeback. In the event that you have tried to contact the merchant and have been unable to reach a resolution, you can dispute the transaction by contacting us at customerservice@divipay.com. We will act on your behalf and conduct the chargeback.

How do I load funds in another currency?

All funds are currently loaded onto your card in AUD. You can use the currency exchange calculator to work out how much AUD you will need for an international purchase. Once the correct amount of funds are loaded, DiviPay will convert the currencies for you without any foreign transaction fees.
